Rename multiple files

Files can be used to change the names of a group of files. You can Rename using a template or Find and replace text.

To rename using a template:

  1. Select two or more files in Files.

  2. Press F2 or right-click on the selection and pick Rename. The Rename window opens.

  3. Make sure Rename using a template is selected.

    The name field contains "[Original filename]" as a placeholder. It can be deleted or added back from the + Add menu.

    Click before or after "[Original filename]" to add letters, words, or numbers to create the pattern you want.

    Certain characters should be avoided on some devices.

    To number the files sequentially, click + Add to choose the number of digits in the number you want added automatically. If you are renaming 10 or more files but fewer than 100, choose two digits (01, 02, 03, 04). Choose three (001, 002, 003, 004) if you have more than 99 files to rename.

    The preview list will show the current filenames on the left and the resulting filenames on the right.

  4. Click the Rename button to apply the pattern you have created, and the files will be renamed.

当您重命名文件时，只会选取文件名称的第一部分，而不包括文件扩展名（最后一个 . 后的部分）。扩展名通常表示文件的类型（例如，file.pdf 是一个PDF文档），通常不需要改变。如果一定要更改扩展名，可以选取整个文件名后更改。

To rename using find and replace text:

  1. Select two or more files in Files.

  2. Press F2 or right-click on the selection and pick Rename.

  3. Select Find and replace text.

  4. For Existing Text type the text to be replaced. For Replace With, type the new text. The preview list will show the current filenames on the left and the resulting filenames on the right.

  5. Click the Rename button to accept the replacement in the preview, and the files will be renamed.

如果重命名错误，或不合适，您可以撤销重命名。要撤销操作，立即点击侧边中的菜单按钮，选择撤销重命名，或按 Ctrl+Z，即可恢复其之前的名称。
